Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. In summer, water thoroughly when dry, but reduce watering significantly in winter, only providing enough to prevent shriveling.
Overwatering is the most common cause of root rot. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or damaged leaves, and encourage bushier growth. Pinch back stem tips in spring or early summer. Old, leggy stems can be cut back hard to promote new basal growth.
Use clean, sharp tools for precise cuts.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Take cuttings in spring or summer and allow them to callous over for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.
Water sparingly until roots develop, which usually takes a few weeks.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
Repot in spring before the active growing season begins.
